Talk #1: Formatting Documents with POD

Geoff will talk about Perl's own documentation system called POD (for
Plain Old Documentation). Topics will include:
* Basic POD tags and syntax
* Making pod2html look good with stylesheets
* Targeting multiple output formats
* Syntax/parser gotchas
* A brief look at the code that parses POD (i.e. writing your
own translator for a new or customized output format)

Jeremy will not talk about Perl itself, but rather about stuff that's
about Perl. Topics will include:
* finding documentation and help
* maintaining and upgrading perl
* various coding practices
* tips
About Jeremy:

Sciences at the University of Washington. Primary responsibilities

Pre- and Post- Meeting Activities
---------------------------------
The pre-meeting dinner will be at the Cedars restaurant, at
50th St. and Brooklyn, in the University District, near the
Safeco building where the meeting will take place. The phone
number is 527-5247. If you're planning to be there, please post a
message to the list with your expected arrival time (5:30-5:45pm
is recommended). To be fair, from now on only those who comply
with the RSVP policy (and are therefore counted in the seating
reservation) will be allowed to sit at the speaker's table.
As usual, those seeking liquid input before (and/or after) the
meeting are invited to congregate at the nearby Finn MacCool's
tavern, at 4217 University Ave. North, (206) 675-0885. (But if
somebody has a *specific recommendation* for an alternative location
that's more conducive to conversation, please let me know, and
we'll consider trying it out.)
